Images with no Figure caption

[ptram]

Description

Hi,

I see several discussions about captions, but can't find anything related to my question. So, I'll ask.

I'm trying to have images with no "Figure" caption. When rendering to a Website, just leaving the caption between square parentheses empty, in the markdown source, works fine: the image is rendere with no caption.

When rendering to PDF through Typst, a 'Figure [#]:' always appears below the image. I would like it not to appear, since it is not needed in the style I'm after (a user manual). Said in another way: I don't want a caption under the images.

How to do to hide it? I've tried a few solutions found on the web, but none did work. Is there a direct way, maybe something already described in the manuals, but that I've not yet been able to find?

Can you share with us an example document so that we are trying to help on the same base as you ?

Is the question only for the Typst format ?

I don't know if this only happens with Typst. Judging from the examples in the Quarto manual ("Figures"), it looks like this might also happen with LaTeX. I admit I've only tried Quarto with Website, Revealjs and PDF via Typst.

A very simple source markdown is this one:

Please note that two other ports are on the back of the instrument.
![](images/usb-f-area-detail.png){width=30% fig-alt="Detail of the 'Front USB port', on the extreme right of the control panel"}

As you see, the caption is empty. This translates as I want in the Website:

This is the HTML code generated by Quarto:

Please note that two other ports are on the back of the instrument.</p>
<div id="fig-539a35d47e664c97a50115a146a7f1bd-10" class="quarto-figure quarto-figure-center anchored" width="30%" alt="Detail of the 'Front USB port', on the extreme right of the control panel">
<figure class="quarto-float quarto-float-fig figure">
<div>
<img src="images/usb-f-area-detail.png" id="fig-539a35d47e664c97a50115a146a7f1bd-10" class="img-fluid figure-img" style="width:30.0%" alt="Detail of the 'Front USB port', on the extreme right of the control panel">
</div>
</figure>
</div>

The PDF generated through Typst (with Quarto 1.4.386) contains the "Figure:" statements that I don't want, even if the caption is still empty:

This latest style is good for academic papers, but not for user manuals, where images don't need cross-referencing, but are only given where they are required. So, I would like that nothing of the caption to appear.

This is a bug in our typst output! I'll fix right away.
